Malcolm Michaels, 54, started working at the market aged 14 and “got a bug for the place” before opening up his own shop - Malcolm Michaels Quality Butchers Ltd - with his uncle on the beloved Butcher’s Row when he was just 23.
He claims he was forced to move his shop from the market which had been open for almost 30 years, due to hefty rent, low footfall and an undesirable location. “We could turnover £30,000 a week but once we had paid our outgoings we were running at a loss,” he said. “We looked on the outskirts of Leeds and found a perfect location, in Crossgates shopping centre,” he said. “We fit in like hand in glove - n the market we were like a glove on a foot. We are now looking at Penny Hill in Hunslet and Bramley Shopping Centre, that’s east south and west Leeds covered, then we will be on the lookout for north Leeds.
The spokesperson said: “Over the past two years all traders were able to access free social media training from the team at Leeds Boost.
It’s a shame the market has been allowed to go to ruin Overpriced limited parking killed of Leeds city centre.Hear they intend making outside market into car parks.Smells of corporate/council greed to me,prime land that & many traders running at a loss are driven out after 30+yr
